Bevell: Lockette 'could have been stronger through football' on INT

by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com

(2/2/2015)The talk around the water cooler Monday morning and on pretty much every sports show -- whether on television, radio or the Internet -- is about the Seahawks' final play call that resulted in Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler picking off quarterback Russell Wilson's pass in the end zone and clinching a 28-24 win in Super Bowl 49 for New England.

It seems the consensus is that Seattle should have leaned on star running back Marshawn Lynch to run the football for the potential go-ahead score. Still, the Seahawks stand by the play call after the loss, with offensive coordinator Darren Bevell adding, “It was a great look, the look we wanted to get."

Seahawks' Bevell questions Ricardo Lockette's effort on final play

Bevell said he felt Lockette could have been more aggressive going after the ball on the interception. Lockette ran a slant route to the end zone, but the ball was intercepted by Patriots corner Malcolm Butler. The two players collided on the play, but Butler came up with the ball.

The decision to pass the ball on the one yard line has been questioned by many. Bevell said he called the play, though head coach Pete Carroll took responsibility for the call in post-game interviews.

Lockette finished with three receptions for 59 yards during the contest.

WRs Ricardo Lockette, Kevin Norwood move up depth chart

by Larry Hartstein | CBSSports.com

(1/13/2015)With rookie wideout Paul Richardson out for the rest of the playoffs with a torn ACL, the Seahawks will use Ricardo Lockette and rookie Kevin Norwood in addition to starters Doug Baldwin and Jermaine Kearse, reports the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Coach Pete Carroll said Norwood, a fourth-round pick, must step up.

“We totally trust that he knows what’s going on and can make good plays,” Carroll said, per the paper. “They’re a little different in style but we think he’s going to be a very effective player. We just haven’t seen a lot of him so you would know that. But we’re OK about that. We’re going to definitely miss Paul because he just continues to show, he’s made a lot of big plays and big catches in tough situations. We’ll miss him in that.”

Seattle is a 7.5-point home favorite over the Packers in the NFC Championship Game.

Seahawks receivers stay quiet in Week 12 win vs. Cardinals

(11/23/2014)Seahawks wide receiver Ricardo Lockette led his team in receiving yards Sunday, catching his only target for 48 yards in his team's 19-3 win over the Cardinals in Week 12.

No one receiver was able to deliver a breakout performance on a day where the Seahawks led for most the game and attempted just 22 passes. Quarterback Russell Wilson hit nine different receivers with completions in the game, with tight end Tony Moeaki hauling in a team-high four catches for 34 yards.

Tight end Cooper Helfet caught both of his targets for 27 yards and a touchdown, doing most of the work on the 20-yard score after catching the ball behind the line of scrimmage. Tight end Luke Willson (21 yards) and wide receivers Jermaine Kearse (19 yards) and Kevin Norwood (10 yards) each managed just one catch. Wide receiver Doug Baldwin caught two passes but for only six yards.

The Seahawks face a quick turnaround, with a Thursday night matchup with the 49ers on the schedule for Week 13.

Cooper Helfet finished second on the club in yardage with just 32 yards. All of his yards came on just one catch. Doug Baldwin had a team-high four receptions, but only gained 31 yards. Ricardo Lockette caught one ball for 16 yards.

The three will take on the Chiefs Week 11.

Jermaine Kearse clocked in with 15 yards on the day, and Kevin Norwood had 13 yards. Tight end Cooper Helfet caught one pass for 11 yards.

Ricardo Lockette a go-to guy for big plays

"He's made so much improvement," coach Pete Carroll said. "It's just been a long, long road to get to here. He's learned from everything that's gone on. He's matured so much in terms of how he applies himself."

For the season, Lockette has three catches for 77 yards and two scores.

Seahawks backup receivers make the most of their chances

by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com

(9/5/2014)The Seahawks backup receivers made some big plays Thursday against the Packers.

Both Ricardo Lockette and Derrick Coleman came through on scoring plays. Lockette was targeted on a read-option play. After Russell Wilson kept the ball, he hit Lockette with a short pass after the cornerback bit on the play. Lockette broke a tackle on his way to scoring a 33 yard touchdown. He would finish with two catches for 38 yards.

Coleman only made one catch, but made it count. With the team trying to run out the clock, Coleman caught a short pass on fourth down and managed to rumble in for the 15 yard score.

Doug Baldwin and Jermaine Kearse didn’t play a big role in the contest. Baldwin caught three balls, but only gained 11 yards. Kearse caught just one pass for 8 yards. Tight end Luke Willson chipped in too, hauling in one pass for one yard.

"No charges, no indication that a criminal act was committed," Ed Griffith of the state attorney's office said. "She was alleging that she may have been the victim of a sexual assault, and there was no evidence."

The announcement brings a conclusion to an episode in which Kaepernick maintained his innocence from the beginning.

Kaepernick indicent: Lockette called 911 twice

by Jamey Eisenberg | Senior Fantasy Writer

(4/15/2014)Seahawks receiver Ricardo Lockette appears to be the one who called 911 in regards to the incident involving a woman ending up in the hospital following an evening spent with 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, 49ers receiver Quiton Patton and Lockette on April 2.

Lockette called police at 12:03 a.m. and 12:20 a.m. on April 2 because a woman was lying naked on Kaepernick's bed and refused to leave. Miami Fire Rescue was eventually dispatched to the apartment and the woman was taken to the hospital around 12:32 a.m.

Kaepernick, Lockette and Patton were all named in the original incident report, which was filed by the unnamed woman on April 3 and released to the public April 10. The incident report doesn't make any accusations against anyone, but the woman did say that after getting naked in front of Kaepernick, he left the room. After that, she woke up in a hospital room and didn't "remember how she got there or who transported her to the hospital." The woman also mentioned alcohol and marijuana in the incident report.

Kaepernick has maintained that he did nothing wrong. As of Monday, no charges have been filed and the incident is still under investigation.

by Dave Richard | Senior Fantasy Writer

49ers WR roundup: Hall impressing, Jenkins not

by Dave Richard | Senior Fantasy Writer

(7/30/2013)The 49ers have a hole to fill opposite Anquan Boldin with Michael Crabtree expected to miss much of the regular season but no one's stepped up thus far in camp. Kyle Williams (hamstring) and Ricardo Lockette (hip) both are sidelined and Marlon Moore, Kassim Osgood and Quinton Patton (jammed finger) appear gimpy as well according to Comcast Sportsnet.

Second-year receiver and former first-round pick A.J. Jenkins hasn't ascended, per the report. He didn't have any receptions in team drills on Sunday and remains undistinguished.

If there's been a bright spot, it's been Chad Hall. Per the report, he's made the biggest impact of all the receivers and has even caught the eye of teammate Vernon Davis.

"I really like Chad," Davis said. "He's quick, he's fast, (and) he's doing everything that the coaches are asking him to do and he comes to work."

49ers work to replace Crabtree

by Jamey Eisenberg | Senior Fantasy Writer

(7/26/2013)The 49ers are trying to replace the injured Michael Crabtree (Achilles), and it looks like A.J. Jenkins will get the first crack at the starting job. According to the San Jose Mercury News, Jenkins lined up with the starters Thursday opposite Anquan Boldin.

Manningham, who was second on the team behind Crabtree with 42 receptions last season, figures to be about a month away from making a return to practice after his own ACL tear last year, reports Comcast Sports Net.

Comcast Sports Net reports that Jenkins heads into training camp with what appears to be a slight lead over Patton and Ricardo Lockette. Kyle Williams and Mario Manningham did not take part in the offseason program due to knee injuries, but they figure to be factors in the competition, too.

Williams is expected to be cleared for the opening of training camp, while Manningham is more than a month behind Williams' rehab schedule.

by Dave Richard | Senior Fantasy Writer
